My cycling and Wikipedia journey (from images on Commons to riding bicycle to Katowice)
07.08, 16:30–16:55 (Poland), Istanbul (10)
Language: English

I want to share my volunteer experience using my hobby (cycling) into Wikimedia projects, as taking images, researching places, visiting remote locations, which resulted into creation of the Veloexpeditions (=velo means bicycle) in Macedonia.


I would like to present that even our hobbies can turned into valuable opportunities for Wikipedia/Wikimedia, and thus although that day we are spending our free time doing something else, we can still contribute to our Wikimedia projects.

Promoting outdoor activities as essential to our projects, my research skills, and what that brings to Macedonian Wikipedia.
